Our wines are made exclusively from grapes grown in the Lake Michigan Shore Appellation - one of the most fertile growing regions in the nation - which not only sets us apart from other wineries in the state, but has been instrumental in making us Michigan's most-awarded winery. Our wide selection of award-winning wines ranges from internationally recognized dry wines to award-winning sweet wines, and everything in between. We are also proud to offer craft distilled spirits, and ciders

Our first stop on the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail! We did our wine tasting outside on a beautiful fall day with very friendly and knowledgeable staff! We will definitely come back again! Now we are home looking forward to drinking the fantastic wine we bought!

Tony Peterson the owner is always such a great host! We have been driving across state to get their wines for a few years now after "Discovering" them on a trip to Warren Dunes. We usually purchase a case of wine each visit as they are not available anywhere else in the state. We have enjoyed each flavor we have tried and this time we stocked up on their cherry wine, which was better than any of the Traverse City cherry wines we have had. A glass of wine on the porch in the summer is the closest you can get to being in as Italian vineyard ! Keep up the great work!

My family was here to visit from California. To my surprise they wanted to visit wineries in the Midwest. This winery was a couple hours from my home so why not? The variety of wines were really good. My cousin enjoyed the wine tasting. I don’t drink alcohol so I did not think I would find anything of interest for me but to my surprise they had a nice selection of sparkling juices—which I love. I purchased four varieties. I only opened one bottle so far but I really enjoyed it. My cousin also liked the wines she purchased. There are nice souvenirs as well. I enjoyed browsing and bought a few other items as well. I am planning another trip to the winery alone to purchase a case of wine and a case of sparkling juice to give as holiday gifts. On a final note, I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful

Hickory Creek is a very small production winery specializing in European old world style wines made from our local AVA's grapes. Our friendly staff provides tastings in our charming red barn tasting room. Our wines are served at some of the finest restaurants in Chicago and SW Michigan, and are created to pair with food. Current releases include: Riesling (dry and semi-dry), Pinot Gris, Gruner Veltliner, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay (French Oak and our Zero Oak), Cab Franc Rose, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and our Bordeaux style blend - Melange. We also offer a semi-dry Riesling Blend called Gentil, a semi-dry red called Rouge Doux and our Laughing Labs Red. We are family friendly, dog friendly and offer space for outdoor seating. We hope you'll visit soon!

My husband and I decided to stop here along with several other wineries in the area. Hickory Creek was by far our favorite! Excellent wine with a quaint atmosphere and personal touch that the winemaker, Adam brought. We definitely will be adding this to our must see list when in SW MI.

Small family winery specializing in hand-crafted wines produced at our vintage 1882 homestead in southern Michigan. We are dedicated to sharing quality wines with our friends, family, and community while helping to preserve our rural countryside. We purposefully keep the volume of our winery small so we can ensure the quality of all our wines. Come by and see us - the trust is in the tasting!

We were shocked that we had not visited this winery in the past. We were sure we must have as we have been traveling the wine regions for 20 years. This was a pleasant surprise on what a wonderful visit we had. The winery took our payment inside for a tasting, then gave us a seat outside at a table to chose our wines, which were then delivered to us. The patio area was beautiful and a great place to just hang out and drink wine! We will be back!
9. 12 Corners Vineyards
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 90 reviews
For nearly a century, West Michigan has been the home of some of the most productive and picturesque fruit farms in the Midwest. Lake Michigan's "lake effect" has sheltered the fruit of our region from the harshness of winter - blanketing the fruit vines with snow and providing slightly warmer temperatures. 12 Corners Vineyards was started by a small group of friends who grew up in Michigan and recognized the uniqueness of a site just four miles off Michigan's famed "Gold Coast." The hamlet of Twelve Corners, Michigan is our namesake. We have an 115 acre estate planted with both vinifera and hybrid grapes. The vineyards are planted on soils of varying textures and slopes, bringing a distinct and pronounced terroir to the wines we proudly serve.

Tracey thank you for a great time tasting the wines. Your knowledge of the wines and fun personality made our day. Mainly did white wines. Niagara and Pinot were our favorites. Surprised by the apple Hard Cider was sooo smooth and refreshing.
